Savagely funny and frequently moving...Some of the humour is as full-blooded as a tackle by Bryan Robson...At times the author wanders off at a tangent,like Chris Waddle on a bad day,then that is the capricious nature of footballForget Nick Horby's FEVER PITCH,this is the football book of the new age,a mix of heroism,humour and Norman Hunter,but mainly humourBritain's best ever football bookAcidly funny,there is lots of relevant social comment. One of the best of the new genre
